MEC Athletic Racerback Tank | Size M

The tank that works as hard as you do — and looks better doing it.

MEC — Mountain Equipment Company — is one of Canada's most trusted outdoor and athletic brands, with a reputation for quality construction, performance fabrics, and gear that genuinely holds up over time. This athletic tank is a strong example of the brand at its everyday best: thoughtfully designed, well-made, and completely functional without sacrificing style.

The colour is a beautiful heathered slate blue with a subtle purple undertone — versatile enough to pair with almost any bottom in your workout wardrobe and flattering on a wide range of skin tones. The fabric is a performance polyester-spandex blend with just the right amount of stretch and recovery — it moves with you, wicks moisture, and holds its shape wash after wash.

The design details are what make this one stand out from a basic tank. Geometric seam lines run across the front in a dynamic star pattern, adding visual interest and structure. The racerback cut opens up the shoulders for full range of motion. A built-in shelf bra with a separate nylon-spandex lining provides support without the need for a separate sports bra for lower-impact activities. The standout feature is the drawstring cinch hem — a hot pink cord threads through a gathered elastic waistband, letting you adjust the fit and silhouette. Cinch it tight for a defined waist, leave it loose for a relaxed flowy finish. A small MEC logo patch sits at the hem.

This is a Canadian brand, a practical piece, and genuinely excellent condition.

WHY WE LOVE IT: MEC has been outfitting Canadians for the outdoors since 1971 — this is a brand people trust implicitly for quality and performance. The hot pink drawstring detail on an otherwise understated tank is a clever design choice that adds personality without overwhelming the piece. The built-in bra lining makes this genuinely grab-and-go for yoga, pilates, walking, or running errands.

HOW TO STYLE IT: Pair with black leggings and white sneakers for a clean, classic athletic look. Wear with bike shorts and a zip-up hoodie for a casual athleisure outfit. Style with high-waisted yoga pants and slip-on sandals for a post-workout errand run. Layer under a zip-up vest or windbreaker for outdoor walks in cooler weather. Cinch the drawstring and wear with flowy joggers for a relaxed weekend look that still feels put-together.
